Patent CA-2363861-A1 (CA)
Title: Continuous process and apparatus for making thermoformed articles
Inventor: DALGEWICZ EDWARD J III
IPC: C08L67/02
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: A continuous process for making a thermoplastic article comprises extruding a sheet of thermoplastic and contacting the sheet with a mold surface while the sheet is in a substantially non-oriented state. The mold surface is selectively heated and/or cooled during thermoforming to maintain the sheet in a molten or thermoformable state. A stripper plate adjacent to the mold surface is maintained at different temperature for inducing a predetermined degree of crystallinity to the sheet, for increasing web stiffness and improving web alignment, and optionally for assisting in the separation of the articles from the mold. A continuous apparatus for making thermoformed articles has co-extruders for extruding at least two distinct layers, which can have dissimilar properties (e.g., polar and non-polar), and a temperature controlled molding surface. Preferred thermoplastic compositions of the present invention have improved toughness and retained intrinsic viscosity.

Patent CA-2368856-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZOUBAK SERGUEI
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: DNA constructs for truncated forms of cancer-specific or cancer associated antigens are included in plasmid or viral expression vectors. The rationale to use constructs for truncated and not for full-size molecules is to eliminate side effects (toxicity, signal transduction, etc.) arising from expressed proteins and/or, in cases where such molecules are expressed on the membrane, secreted, or released in the extracellular environment, to prevent formation of antibodies against them. The extracellular portion of the human prostate specific membrane specific antigen (XC-PSMA) has been cloned. Patients were treated either by injection of DNA coding for XC-PSMA in a mammalian expression vector under the CMV promoter or/and by a replication-defective adenoviral vector (Ad5)hat contains an expression cassette for the XC-PSMA. In a third method dendritic cells are isolated from a patient and are treated by exposure to the plasmid or adenovirus used in the previous two treatments. The dendritic cells are then injected into the patient. In some patients, the progression of metastatic prostate cancer is retarded or stopped.

Title: Protein kinase peptide substrate determination using peptide libraries
Inventor: BRAMSON HAROLD NEAL
IPC: C12Q1/48
Filed: 2002-05-30
Abstract: A method of isolating and identifying peptide substrates for a protein kinase is disclosed. The method involves a combination of size exclusion and gallium-based metal affinity chromatography. The method includes the steps of incubating a protein kinase with a peptide library in the presence of kinase reaction components, the library comprising library members; separating library members from the kinase reaction components using size exclusion chromatography to give a pool of phosphopeptides and unphosphorylated peptides; contacting the pool with immobilized gallium ions to form chelated phosphopeptides; eluting chelated phosphopeptides away from the gallium ions to give eluted phosphopeptides; sequencing the eluted phosphopeptides, whereby a preferred amino acid sequence of a preferred peptide substrate for a protein kinase is elucidated. Also disclosed is a method of identifying a compound that modulates the protein kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of a peptide substrate and a method of designing protein kinase substrates.

Title: Optical interferometer (variants)
Inventor: FELDSHTEIN FELIX ISAAKOVICH
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 2000-11-27
Abstract: The invention relates to the devices distinguished by optical means of measurement specifically to the optical interferometers coming part of low-coherent reflectometers and devices for optical coherent tomography. The corresponding polarization switches are incorporated in the measuring and bearing arms (5), (7). As a result the direction of the polarization of the optical radiation passing through the light-splitter (3) in the opposite direction becomes the orthogonal thereof to the polarizing direction of the optical radiation passing through the light-splitter (3) straight away. The light-splitter (3) is polarizelly sensitive that makes it possible to set up of the light-splitter (3) for each polarization on condition that the maximum efficiency of the use of the power source of optical radiation and the best signal/noise ratio are secured. In another variant of the interferometer the light-splitter (25) is independent. In one modification of this variant the source power of optical radiation can be used, but in another modification can be also used the source (23) of non-polarized optical radiation. The realization in the interferometer of the balance reception guarantees the maximum use of the power source of optical radiation and the best signal/noise ratio.
